Indonesia, already the world’s biggest producer of palm oil, expects output to remain strong due to continued rising palm oil prices that are boosting the appetites of farmers and private companies to plant the commodity. Achmad Manggabarani, director general for plantations at the Agriculture Ministry, told a forum Tuesday that next year Indonesia would produce 23.2 million metric tons of palm oil, 8 percent higher than an estimated 21.5 tons in 2008. Achmad said the trend would continue to rise in the coming years, with output by 2020 expected to reach 40 million tons. “The government predicts the 2020 target can be achieved if Indonesia has 9.1 million hectares of palm oil plantations, with each hectare producing 4.5 kilograms,” said Achmad. Bloomberg reported that palm oil futures on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange have increased by 32 percent this year as demand rose on expectations of a global economic recovery.Palm oil for September fell 1.5 percent to 2,227 ringgit (US$633) a ton at 6. p.m. Kuala Lumpur time.
